The terrorist watch list ballooned from hundreds to hundreds of thousands without evidence requirements

Evidence

Terrorist watch lists, which grew from a few hundred before 9/11 to hundreds of thousands today, determine which applicants automatically are subject to CARRP. Absent legal requirements that the FBI show evidence of a listed individual’s threat of engaging in terrorism, the terrorist watch lists are overinclusive of those with Muslim names. Moreover, removing oneself from a watch list is a lengthy process that is often futile. — Sahar F. Aziz, The Racial Muslim, 909
